Wider lens on a limited budget?

[umcelinho]

i'd say voigtlander 21/4, ultron 35/1.7, canon 35/2 or if you want to go extreme, a 15/4.5. its extremely wide and complements well a 50. the 21 would complement well too.

maybe a 35 would be the best bet, just keep both as normals, leaving home with only one according to the place where you'll be shooting at. no changing lenses = no hassle

I shoot 21mm 30% of the time and 35mm 70% of the time. I do have some nice nikkors that are longer I just rarely reach for them.

Lets just say im very happy i didnt jump in and buy anything last week :-)

Bittersweet news, of course, but what a lovely souvenir to have of your grandfather.

Now would be the time to look at a 21...

Yeah, perhaps the 21/4.5 zeiss. When you go out, bring only the 21/50 combo or the 35/90 combo, depending on where you're planning on going. Voila!

Actusally, there's a lot to be said for 18-35-75-135: doubling the focal length, reducing the image area to a quarter.
